Remarks:
One of my favourite Donna Summer songs. It came out in November 1979 and went to #9 on the US R&B chart. The line “must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat” suddenly came to her and the rest of the song grew from there.

Lyrics:
Someone found a letter you wrote me, on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name
But I knew just who they meant.
Whoa I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too
If by chance you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I’ve been feeling over you
But they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa oh oh oh
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
Now, now
Don’t it kinda strike you sad when you hear our song
Things are not the same since we broke up last June
The only thing that I want to hear is that you love me still
And that you think you’ll be comin’ home real soon
Whoa, oh, yeah, yeah
And it made me feel proud when I heard you say
You couldn’t find the words to say it yourself
And now in my heart I know I can say what I really feel
‘Cause they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa oh oh
On the radio
If you think that love isn’t found on the radio
Well tune right in you made find the love you lost
‘Cause now I’m sitting here with the man I sent away long ago
It sounded really loud , they said it really loud
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh
On the radio
Whoa, oh, oh

When I was a child I always made an effort to distinguish between:
Dona Summer and Diana Ross.
Both great singers of their time and for all times!
Great 70’s!

Ah, and I could see that Donna Summer had full lips whereas Diana Ross, not that much! Just my opinion…
